DRE / Classic #1 indicator

[Guest guest]

said: " think " DRE " is a little overly-technical for this group. I

commonly refer to it as a " finger wave. "

Yanno? I have never been all that comfortable being on a social basis with

the guy who regularly administers this exam for me. His sis and my wife were

college roommates and he lives on the next block from us and on occasion

there is social interaction. Just never quite felt comfortable shaking hands

with the guy who does this for me!

On the other hand, I will have it done tommorrow morn! But Jacque is right

and long since have I asked for it when I do regular annual exams and for the

PSA testing as well. Since I keep a record of all lab tests this one is also

included. I just finished readng an article yesterday I think on medscape

which reiterates this caution about testerone replacement. I is ever

so right and so is Jacque!
